very bad
the African would begin to speak the languages of the Americans
The slave trade was a triangle. First finished goods where made in Europe. Then those good were transported to Africa to be traded for tribes prisoners of war. The prisoners are then sent to the Americas to be used to grow raw materials to be shipped to Europe to be made into finished goods. The goods would then to to Africa and the slave trade would begin again. The slave trade is also know as the Triangle trade as the trade followed a triangular pattern.
The second main religion in Africa would be Christianity, which was brought to Africa after the slave trade, during the Colonial Era.
In the 1700s, Africa and Portugal traded, but this would lead to great problems. This began the slave trade, which would, only much later, be realized as the inhumane monstrosity it was.
David Livingstone believed that opening the interior of Africa to Christianity and trade would help end the slave trade and bring economic development, education, and healthcare to the region. His goal was to improve the lives of the African people by promoting commerce, spreading Christianity, and combating the exploitation of indigenous populations.
Ships from Europe would buy slaves from other slave owners in Africa (YES there were slave owners in Africa!) and then transport them into docks in southern states bordering the Atlantic. There owners from the States could buy or trade them.
African slave trade was for greed of gold and trade objects. The American slave trade was based on economically standards and labor. In Africa the slaves were originally held because they owed a debt, was a prisoner of war or committed a crime. The Americans took slaves for any reason. The Africans would assimilate their slaves, where once in America slaves were stripped of everything; clothes, language, religion and identity. For fear/belief that Africans would revolt.
The population of Africa in the mid-19th century most likely would have been larger than it actually was.
Slavery in West Africa started as early as the 7th century. Slavery in West Africa reached it's peak when slave traders would trade slaves for use in the Americas.
Ships would take rum to Africa and trade for slaves; take the slaves to the West Indies and trade them for molasses; and take the molasses to a distillery and have it processed into rum. The word is "triangular."
slave trade was when the masters that owned the slaves would sale them and other masters would buy them.
